Hose Installation

  • Install the hoses and pipes, being careful to follow bending direction. Avoid sharp bending, kinking, flattening or twisting.
  • Run the hoses (see Cable, Wire, and Hose Routing section in the Appendix chapter).
  • Install the clamp [A] as near as possible to the hose end to clear the raised rib of the fitting. This will prevent the hoses from working loose.

The clamp screws should be positioned correctly to prevent the clamps from contacting the other parts.
